All Around The Town As my grand children live over 2,200 miles away it's a sad fact of life that I normally see them fewer than half-a-dozen times a year. To this end, after we returned from our trip to the Berlin Resort in Amish Country (see previous post) we spent the next six days searching out interesting and fun things to do in Columbus, Ohio, of which there are a plethora,
...an upscale shopping mall that is like a little city within the city, a miniature New York or Paris; ...that is to say, a miniature New York or Paris where they took out everything except the stores, restaurants, and a movie theater. We ended up taking a couple of trips to Easton, as even if one cannot afford to patronize the upscale establishments,
...and, of course, it doesn't cost a cent to spend time strolling around the streets of Easton, window shopping, enjoying the pretty scenery,
...all of which we did on Tuesday, the day after we returned from Amish Country. However before heading to Easton we first did our serious shopping at Walmart, of course (See post from 7/28/2018), ...where he girls shopped for school clothes. We picked up a few groceries as well, one-stop-shopping being one of the perks of patronizing Walmart. Next we swung by Old Navy, where the girls also had luck finding a few nice pieces. Then, the school clothes shopping done, we headed to Easton for lunch at Bibibop, .and then out to play in the fountain. Afterwards we returned to the indoor area of the mall where the girls discovered, among other wonders, the joys of Claire's.
...and so we stopped for a reading break before heading home. Now, I had invited Tommy and Emily over for dinner that evening, but we'd ended up spending so much time out on the town that by the time we arrived home it was 6:30 pm, too late to make dinner, so we all went out to Olive Garden instead.
...which rounded out the day nicely.
